You find exactly what you are looking for. – Michael Thornton
The majority of the time we find exactly what we are looking for, but the issue arises when it’s not what we wanted or desired. Obviously, I’m not talking about lost keys or things like that.
The problem is that what we are looking for is sometimes unconscious. Our negative feelings, beliefs, fears, worries are all mixed in with the positive aspects of our lives. So, what comes out is not always what we expect. This manifests into missed opportunities, the same “bad” relationships repeated over and over, and things just not going the way we want.
What do we need to do? It’s really straightforward. We must find a way to reduce the amount and frequency of negative feelings. It’s not really important what we do here or how we do it. We could distract ourselves by doing something else. We could train our minds to learn how to pivot out of negative thinking. We could begin to openly and consciously work on our underlying fears, worries and anxieties. We could learn to not repress negative feelings. It’s always better to face what you are feeling head on and deal with it immediately.
When we do this, it begins to change how we react to the world around us, how people view us and gives us back the control in our lives that was missing in the first place. For example, we stop attracting people that put us in “bad” relationships. We are able to see and respond to opportunities for better jobs and increased finances. As our outlook changes, our hope for an even better future increases. We become more relaxed with the present moment. In other words, we start enjoying life more.
Finally, we start to find what we are really looking for. Of course, this is different for all of us. Bottom line, excitement and zest for life returns. Who knows what will happen then.
